Five of the possible sixes will go a long way – they hope Sunday is not the time zone they play later this season.

With their 3-2 victory at Anaheim, the match outside the Oriental Clock completed the remaining eight games in the regular season. Now, Leaf leads three points ahead of Florida and Tampa Bay. The latter duo has a game.

After the Ducks almost wasted two goals in the playoffs, Steven Lorentz beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 late in the fourth inning. The loss of the shootout in San Jose is to open the entire part of the leaves and sweep trip.

As the calendar shifts on Tuesday on April 1, Toronto and its rushing fans will take playoff preparations seriously.

The leaves have shown no adverse effects from the night before, nor are they a difficult trip, walking a few miles along the highway.

After the first phase, Toronto may gain a greater lead. But a key high-rod ruling on Saturday in Los Angeles hit his shoulders, which wiped the hockey away from Auston Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthews-Matthew

After killing two Ducks’ Power Games, the Special Team is the kyptonite of the season, and at the last moment of the opening frame, Leaf hits. He tried to force an earlier sprint, and Max Domi grabbed the puck, set off his old boxing partner, Radko Gudas, and buried his crossbar on goalkeeper Lukas Dostal.

Mana did one in the next period. He helped Marner get out of the break-in after Simon Benoit covered the cover in a fight for goalkeeper Joseph Woll. Marner is now 100 points away from nine points.

The young ducks won’t be long, however, Leo Carlsson, second pick after Connor Bedard, beat Wall two years ago, as a screenshot from his 20s. William Nylander at least couldn’t get in the duck’s blue line, but the constant pressure continued.

The Ducks did get their special team to tie it up, and Sam Colangelo jumped off the third stage rebound after Matthews hit the iron at the other end. But with two fourth lines on the ice, David Kampf’s shot was redirected by opportunist Lorentz.

Woll scored 28 saves with 28 wins, which was the help of more than 20 blocks.

Now, Leaves have two days off in the plan, though on the other side waited for the Panthers in Toronto on Wednesday. This started four games in eight days, with Leaves facing the Panthers and lighting three times. In addition to the game in Buffalo, the Leafs face a stable diet of playoff teams or close-range competitors.
